2. Comment: Both Lake Johanna and Little Lake Johanna are listed on the State's 303(d) list of impaired waters. While this is addressed in the SWMP, it should be noted that for projects that directly drain to impaired water, the MPCA is now using its Section 401 authority to review those projects. Response: Comment acknowledged. 3. Comment: The RCWD is concerned about the parking lot feature to be built in the northwest shoreland of Little Lake Johanna. There re two reasons for this concem. One reason is the close proximity to impair,� T ater, and the second reason is due to concerns regarding constructio u� �tructure in the lake area buffer which also has steep slopes. � y� Response: Comment acknowledged. The Ca�Tege reco� izes the sensitivity of this bluff area, especially in relation to the existence of tr��nd the narrowness of the buildable area. In response to this comment, the Col/�+ �� s prepared to remove the parking lot feature northwest of Little Lake Johan �,� m the proposed development. See also the response to comments / B: ' d 11.6.2. 4. Comment: No comparison of quantity and quality of runoff pre and post construction was conducted. Because the project site discharges to Lake Johanna and Little Lak� Joha na, both of which are impaired waterbodies, such an assessment needs to be c�' ��t�ted. �,�,. �� r ' Response: The Storm Wa� �Management Plan included as an attachment to the EAW analyzes the impa f af proposed develapment on runoff quantity and quality. Since the proposed capifal improvemenfs are planned for the next 12 to 20 years, no comparison has beer� completed. This comparison will be completed as the proposed capit �� provements are planned and constructed. The proposed facilities will be req `` d to meet Rice Creek Watershed permitting requirements for runoff quality an anfity when they are construction. >; Sfprmwater Best Management Practices included in the SWMP include wef `` detentio� ponds; pollution prevention such as material storage control, furf rnanage�ii�nf, parking lot cleaning; pervious pavements to reduce the amount of runoff; m��, ion practices and filfer devices which primarily trap solids that have � pollutants a��hed to them. IV. City A. James Hills Planner Comm�'nt: The DNR established the general development classification for Johanna and Little Johanna, not the City. Response: Comment acknowledged. The EAW will be revised fo reflect this comment. 2. Comment: The reference to the land use chart is incorrect. It is Section 1320.05 and not Section 5.E. Response: Comment acknowledged. The EAW will be revised to reflect this comment. TKDA Project No. 13529.002 Page 11 Draft Date: July 9, 2007
